This is my escape
This is the place where my wishes become crystallized
This is the future when I’m so tired of being in the now
This is my hope wrapped up in one tender hold
This is my treasure

This is my second take
This is the chance I seek
I don’t really care if it makes me weak
Where I allow myself to wander between truth and lies
This is the only time I can reach out and touch the forbidden
Divulge the eternal heart melody I’ve hidden
Where I get to dance in the freedom of this pure vow
This is the then of memories so sweetly renewed
Vanish or tarnish they will never when so softly pursued
A secret, an intimacy only for us to behold
This is my peace and also my hell
For the morning always comes and pulls me from its spell
This is beyond measure
This is what helps me get through
The illusion of holding you.
